"The Hollywood / Hallandale Beach area has one of the most dynamic condo markets in coastal South Florida," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Downtown Miami based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures® LLC. "The Hollywood / Hallandale Beach condo market was the first of South Florida's seven largest coastal markets to sell out of new units developed during the last building boom. At this point of the current cycle, the Hollywood / Hallandale Beach area ranks as the fourth most active condo market in coastal South Florida behind only Greater Downtown Miami, West Palm Beach, and Sunny Isles Beach.

"The unanswered question going forward is whether buyers will continue to purchase new condo units in the Hollywood / Hallandale Beach market given the rising prices and the amount of newly proposed condos slated to go up in nearby areas."

CondoVultures.com is scheduled to profile condo trends in the third quarter of 2013 in the 10 largest coastal markets in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties beginning the week of October 14, 2013.

In the Hollywood / Hallandale Beach market, a Florida corporation - B & H Fort Lauderdale Beach LLC with members Gilbert Benhamou and Eyal Steve Levy of Aventura - has submitted plans to build a luxury highrise on the 1.3-acre site of the recently terminated 42-unit Regency House Beach Club Resort in the 2000 block of South Ocean Drive fronting the Atlantic Ocean, according to city of Hallandale Beach records.

The development group - B & H Fort Lauderdale Beach LLC - proposing the new 30-story condo project is different than the site's owner of record - GBP Regency LLC with Rainer Viete of Pompano Beach - that acquired the land for $10 million - using a $5 million loan - in July 2011, according to the Broward County Property Appraiser's website.

The site's owner of record - GBP Regency LLC - terminated the existing Regency House Beach Club Resort - that was created in 1984 - in August 2013 at the same time its loan on the property was increased to $7.5 million, according to Broward County records.

Some 1.5 miles west of the newly proposed oceanfront condo tower, the owner of the 300-acre Village At Gulfstream Park mixed-use facility is "close to launching" sales for a 200-unit condo tower slated to go up on the property located in the 500 block of South Federal Highway, according to the Miami Herald.

Additional details on the soon-to-be-launched condo project are unclear as no new development applications have appeared on any recent or future meeting agendas in Hallandale Beach, according to government records.

Opened in 2010, the Village At Gulfstream Park should have already had a number of new condo units developed on the site.

"Original plans called for Gulfstream by now to have added a 250-room hotel and 500 condominium units on its way to becoming a mixed-use destination with the added attraction of gambling," according to the Miami Herald.

The total number of unsold new condos does not include any of the more than 8,000 units that were purchased in bulk transactions by investment groups that plan to one day resell the units at a premium, according to the Condo Vultures® Bulk Deals Database™.

A number of the newly proposed condo units are not expected to be completed until 2014 when the unsold developer inventory from South Florida's last real estate boom and bust is projected to be sold.

It is important to note there are various stages to a residential real estate transaction in South Florida.

A transaction begins when a property is made available for sale and ends when a title is conveyed from one party to another party as a result of the recording of a deed with the local government.

As part of the process, a property typically goes under contract and into a due diligence phase by which a deal can be canceled.

The CondoVultures.com new condo sales report is based on completed transactions where a deed is recorded and taxes paid as a result of the sale.
